Nalchik is served by Nalchik Airport (NAL), a small regional facility that typically handles domestic flights and some charter services rather than acting as a major international hub. You’ll usually find Russian carriers and regional operators on its schedules, with fares often perceived as budget-friendly compared with large gateways. The airport sits roughly 8–10 km northwest of the city center; taxi rides normally take 15–25 minutes depending on traffic and cost a modest sum, while local buses or shared minibuses can be cheaper but slower, often 25–40 minutes. Pros: close to the city and simple to navigate; cons: limited amenities, fewer nonstop connections and variable seasonal service levels.
Uytash Airport (MCX) serves Makhachkala as the region’s main international gateway and a practical hub for domestic connections in Dagestan. It typically handles a mix of Russian carriers and regional airlines, so fares can be midrange compared with larger Russian hubs. The airport is about 25–30 km southwest of the city centre; road transfers usually take 30–50 minutes depending on traffic and cost from shared marshrutkas or buses (low) to taxis (moderate). There are limited public-transport options and fewer amenities than bigger hubs, but check-in and security are generally straightforward. Pros: convenient for regional travel and shorter transfer times than remote airports; cons: fewer lounges and international connections than major airports.
